Gilyard, Keith and Elaine Richardson. "Students' Right to Possibility: Basic
Writing and African American Rhetoric." Insurrections: Approaches to
Resistance in Composition Studies. Ed. Andrea Greenbaum. Albany: SUNY UP, 2001.

I plan on using this in my paper as support. I will take quotations and main ideas from them to help support my

Nembhardt, Judith. "A Perspective on Teaching Black Dialect Speaking Students to
